KYIV, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Russia attacked Ukraine with dozens of strike drones and ballistic and cruise missiles, focusing on energy infrastructure and killing at least one person, the Ukrainian military and local officials said on Sunday.
The overnight strikes hit Kyiv and the region around the capital, the Black Sea port Odesa and central Ukraine, they said.
At least one person was killed and another five were injured in the Kyiv region, with damage reported in five districts where more than a dozen houses were damaged, regional Governor Mykola Kalashnyk said on the Telegram messaging app.
Odesa Governor Oleh Kiper wrote on Telegram that a nighttime drone attack on the energy infrastructure of the region caused fires that had been extinguished.
"Russia continues to undermine diplomacy with terrorist mass strikes," Ukrainian foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said on X.
"This terror cannot be normalised; it must be stopped. Russia cannot wag the world, just as the tail cannot wag the dog," he said, calling on the international community to impose tough sanctions against the Kremlin.
Russia attacks the Ukrainian energy system almost daily, striking thermal power plants and electrical substations.
Attacks on power stations, the energy transmission system and the gas sector are important elements of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine launched by Russia in February 2022. Moscow says it is seeking to undermine Ukraine's ability to fight.
